Richard Dawkins Videos (includes Root of Evil!)
We think this is the biggest Richard Dawkins video collection online.
Clinton Richard Dawkins is an eminent British ethologist, evolutionary theorist, and popular science writer who holds the Charles Simonyi Chair in the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University.
From Wikipedia: Dawkins first came to prominence with his 1976 book The Selfish Gene which popularised the gene-centric view of evolution, and introduced the terms meme and memetics into the lexicon. In 1982, he made a major original contribution to the science of evolution with the theory, presented in his book The Extended Phenotype, that phenotypic effects are not limited to an organism's body but can stretch far into the environment, including into the bodies of other organisms. He has since written several best-selling popular books on evolution and appeared in a number of television and radio programmes on evolutionary biology, creationism, and religion.
Dawkins is an outspoken atheist, humanist, sceptic, an enthusiastic "Bright", and – as a commentator on science, religion and politics – is among the English-speaking world's best known public intellectuals. In a play on Thomas Huxley's epithet "Darwin's bulldog", Dawkins' impassioned defence of Darwinian evolution has earned him the appellation "Darwin's rottweiler".

Dawkins is God!!!
Dawkins is God!!!
Dawkins makes me
Dawkins makes me embarrassed to be an atheist a lot of the time. His lack of tolerance is almost equal to those he professes to despise.
Clever guy though, I'll give you that.
Freedom of religious belief is an inalienable right. Stuffing that belief down other people's throats is not.
The Aholy Trinity
One third of the Aholy Trinity, Dawkins is super-ego to the id of Christopher Hitchens and the ego of Sam Harris.
Dawkins is right to be
Dawkins is right to be intolerant of dogmatic religion. It is the anti-science. I think he is this way because like me, he is disgusted with the dehumanising effects of religion. Dawkins has made me even more proud to be an atheist.
